First one....why is it when we are the same weight as another we can't be in the same size of clothing? It is rather fustrating to see that and realize you can't wear that size. I think I am just way to curvy for my own good.
Second one....why do we have stores that make clothes for the fluffier than average women not cut the sizes true to size??? I hate LB for that reason. Still fumming over the fact I am in a 26/28 shirt in that silly store when I know I am a size 16/18 in the big designers. Look at that difference. HUMPHING
Third one....fiber is evil. I don't care if it is good for you. My tummy is rebelling and let me tell you it's winning the battle. Nothing I want to eat is sitting well but bread is. YEAH AND JOY. Sheesh coke is the only thing keeping it from going into a full assault.

even avenue i am pretty right on about my sizing...i am really tiffed about this. i don't think it's right that a store thinks it can make their clothes cut smaller just to fit in with the trends or to keep up with their parent company.
and what was really sad was when i was in LB...in front of the snarky sales teen...i was able to fit into a size 16 sweater with a bit of room to spare. dag gum stupid people.
That is *exactly* the way I feel. If there are two blouses, one has a label that says size 22 and the other has a label that says size 16, I don't give a darn what the label says--the question is, does it fit?
If they would just put the number of inches around a garment is, bust size, waist size and hip size, there wouldn't be all of this silly label shopping. "X" number of inches is "X" number of inches, regardless of the maker. That way, all it would come down to is, does it look good?
Of course, for years I had to take my dressier clothes to a tailor, regardless of the maker of the clothes, to have the waist taken in because of my, uhhhm, "boobage", so the garment would fit properly.
I was totally baffled because they were both LB after all. But then i went into the store and realized that the only things that fit me in smaller sizes were all stretch. I think it's more comfy anyway because it always seems to be lighter weight denim.
I did score a pair of black Old Navy pants in size 18 last night at the thrift store for $8. They *almost* fit...another 10 pounds probably...but I bought them anyway so I'll have them for work when I need them!! :o) I didn't figure they'd fit past my thighs/hips but they did...really tightly, but they did! lol...I can't quite zip them though.
I guess tags don't really matter to me. I know how I feel and that whatever size I wear right now it's definitely like 5-6 sizes smaller than what I started at. I base my size loss on LB stretch denim since that's what I started in...lol.

I have too have a mom who is built like a hamster....We've tried to hide her as much as possible from the outside world (to save her from ridicule). We even set her up with her own little exercise wheel... Is there a support group for those of us who have parents built like small, furry beasties? (just kiddin'! I love you mom!!!) She is 5'3" though:)
About this clothes label thing. I just take a Sharpie marker and scribble out the "4" in my size 24s! Now anyone who looks will think I wear a size 2!!! A brilliant solution don't you think??
Have a great day:)
